Set a custom location for the Adobe PDF Output Folder

Community Beginner ,
May 09, 2019 May 09, 2019

After about a year of trying out Bluebeam the frustration with performance has gotten to the point that our company wants to revisit using Adobe.  As a Lead designer in our group I've been tasked with testing it out and making sure the performance increase is substantial enough to warrant updating our some 30 AutoCAD Electrical users.  We use a sub folder under the Documents folder so that the users are able to simply delete everything in that folder. I've attached a screen shot below which illustrates or configuration to allow AutoCAD electrical to run the Plot Project command without having to name each file as it plots and to ensure we don't have a ton of drawings pop open.  I was surprised to see it has changed so much in just a couple of years. 

Finally to my question. Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF Output folder to something other than just the Documents Folder?

Thank you.

You can see the problem is not related to the Output folder setup. The problem is that your dialog is cut off, you can see all your content is cut off. Lots of stuff is invisible. Maybe the dialog is resizable, but I'm not hopeful.  Check if any of your settings have really-long-names.

No. The top pic is a screen shot of my settings back in Adobe X Pro I scavenged from a cheat sheet I had and the bottom is a screen shot showing that I no  longer have a Browse button or the option to change that. I'm here to ask if that feature has been completely removed or if it's been moved.

Thank you.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!

Alright, so now that I see that I see that I went through and by tracking what was highlighted i was able to hit tab until I managed to guess when the selection was over the missing browse button. Success!!!... Sort of.  Now the question is... why is this dialog box showing up like that? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this Dialog Box?
